the police department, the jail and the animal shelter. that includes voice mail. if you call the regular numbers during the outage, you will get a busy signal. all of this is a result of the work that needs to be done as the department goes through a phone system upgrade. >> 911 calls will not be affected during the upgrade. but, if you need to contact the police department. there is an alternative nonemergency number to be used during this outage time. that number is 510-791-4200. the outage and work would take an hour. police are asking the public to bear with them as they make this upgrade. we are live in fremont. i'm arturo santiago, "today in the bay." in the south bay, gilroy police investigating a deadly shooting that happened late last night near chestnut and east 7th street. one man died from his wounds. another is in critical condition. police expect him to survive. they have not made an arrest

near the two private homes in sea cliff and pacific heights where the president attended fund-raiser. not sure if he was aware of their presence because they were kept at least 300 yards away for purposes of security. if he was within listening distance, the president would have received a mouthful, mostly about environmental concerns, specifically the keystone xl pipeline. many protesters want the president to kill this project that would transport oil from canada to the gulf of mexico. >> the pipeline will enable an enormous very dirty oil to be transported to canada for refinement and use. that makes the planet hotter. >> a number have said it is game over if this is opened up for climate change. >> reporter: just because the protesters were kept far away from the president does not mean he didn't get the message, because the host of one of the fund-raisers yesterday, hedge fund billionaire and stanford grad, tom stier, happens to be a

vocal opponent of the pipeline. this is a quick turn around for the president, only in town for less than 24 hours. he arrived at 5:30 yesterday, here at the intercontinental hotel in downtown san francisco. he will leave here for two more fund-raisers, a brunch and a lunch at private homes in atherton. all that money being raised for congressional democrats trying to get elected into congress. then, he will leave sfo early this afternoon. reporting live here in san francisco, bob redell, "today in the bay." a follow-up on a smooth talking thief who has been ripping off electronics in san francisco and burlingame. he may be take his act to other parts of the bay area. he walks into a store or office, poses as a customer, having long conversations with employees. when they are not looking, he swipes their cell phones, their

the korean peninsula, it is possible the north may have already had missiles aimed at

its neighbors to the south. "today in the bay" tracie potts joins us live on capitol hill with what the obama administration is doing to counter act the move. the obama administration is placing a defense missile system to guam, our closest big milita military base in the region. they don't think north korea can hit guam. there are reports that a mid-range missile is being moved east in north korea, east towards a launching pad. that could mean these nuclear threats could now have something behind them to back them up. what does that really mean? the state department says they are in violation of international law. here is why one former state department spokesman thinks that's a problem. >> if north korea goes beyond the rhetoric and begins to take little shots at south korea and

there is exchange of fire, now, you have kind of uncharted territory here. >> also, new this morning, a statement from a north korean army spokesman saying they have final approval for this nuclear strike that they are using what they call, smaller, lighter and more diversified weapons and as he put it, the moment of explosion is approaching fast. so you can certainly see, laura, why with tensions rising, there is a lot of concern about what's going on this morning on the korean peninsula. >> very much so. thank you for the update. it is 5:43. southern california rescue workers say they have found one of two teenage hikers missing since sunday night. the 19-year-old was found in the cleveland national forest, about 40 miles east of san diego. he was too confuse d and

"today in the bay's" marla tallez live in the facebook campus in menlo park. are you already starting to feel the energy and excitement, anything going on? >> no, not a thing, jon. we are the only ones out here. we are ahead of the game as we typically are. there is so much anticipation surrounding this big facebook announce. . scott mccrew was talking about this earlier this week. he expecting facebook is going to announce a whole version of android software for the smart phone. that's what they are going to announce. they won't make this smart phone. experts say that would be left to taiwanese-based htc. they would make the hardware and it would run on google's and

android operating system. this photo put out by tech website 9 to 5 google. it shows your photo pick replacing the lock button, a constantly changing news feed. a facebook profile pick would be paired with each of your contacts assuming they have a facebook page. it would be a mid-range smart phone with one gigabyte of ram and five megapixel cameras. this is all speculation. how much is this rumored to cost. no one has put a price tag on it just yet. >> as i just mentioned, it is dark, wet, lonely out there. that's all going to change within a matter of hours. this announcement scheduled to come down at 10:00 this morning. facebook sent out an invite to all the media outlets asking us to, quote, come see our new home on android. we'll see exactly what mark zuckerberg means by this at 10:00 today.

for now, live in menlo park, marla tallez, "today" in the ba i. >> you make dark and wet look good. check back in a minute. >> you can hear the wind whipping out there. >> one of those mornings you want to prepare for that. it's a good sign to see marla out there. holden on to her umbrella. she is not having to hold it tightly. the winds aren't that strong. we have really heavy rain coming through. if we were coupling that heavy rain with strong winds, we would be dealing with a whole other story. half an inch and coming down over the course of three hours is pretty substantial. that has, on occasion, for the santa cruz mountains. we are going to see breezy conditions. san francisco, half moon bay, where the heaviest rainfall is coming down now. you want to travel cautiously. make sure the little ones are ready for the rain, boots,

umbrella. this will continue for most of the day, light, intermittent showe showers. san jose is getting a little bit of a break for now. you can see. like i said before, it is coming through. at 7:00 a.m., mostly heavy stuff starts to push out. look at this. as we head throughout tomorrow night and tomorrow morning. tomorrow, it is a big friday around here. we have the world champion giants back at home. it looks like it is going to be pretty nice out there. mostly cloudy, maybe a little bit of fog and drizzle.

at this point, those showers. the dodgers. we like to hear that. looking pretty good. allstate today. livermore. 8:56 in fremont. the showers are early for saturday. showers on sunday. a major warmup. potentially the warmest weather here. we will talk about that coming up. we have an accident on 880 at oakland right at 29th street. you can see the police lights. a lot of activity. backing up way past the oakland coliseum. two lanes are blocked. there is a middle lane. the crews are having a hard time getting through. you can see all of this traffic and this is headed northbound into oakland. so this is going to be a very slow commute as crews start to get this accident off to the side. the other area we are watching as you can see, the same area

from our traffic map. you can see the orange and yellow. that denotes that slowdown past the coliseum. we have an accident at 2:05 leaving tracy approaching livermore. again, down into the south bay. you can see slow-going on 166 as these cars are trying to make it around the construction right at 680. let's take outside once more and show you fremont. you can see lots of cars on the road. here, just typical slowdown. even in the south bay where i showed you, on 101, the head lights northbound. no major accidents to report there. even slow through palo alto on 101. take it easy this morning. keep those head lights on and windshield wipers going. it is 5:50 right now. the man accused of kidnapping and killing morgan hill teenager, sierra lamar, is expected to enter a plea. a scheduled hearing, facing murder and kidnapping charges in the disappearance of the
